The FAA and most US owned airlines have never made the use of lap belts (extension seats belts) compulsory for under 2's, dispite many campaigns in the passed to do so. Now they promote the use of government approved car seats, which is great but that means buying a seat (unless they are spare seats).

My advice Norma is not matter how unhappy he is DO NOT have him on your lap for take off or landing or anytime the seat belt signs are on - I won't go into more detail as I may get accused of scare mongering, but its better for him to be a little upset than to be in any danger no matter how remote[msnsmile]

We alway take our Britax Excel car seat on board the plane with us. It is approoved by most of the airlines however in all the times we have used it we have never been ask to produce a label or badge to prove it is an approved seat.
We do know that it fits into both Boeing and Airbus planes. Our daughter who is three is more than happy to sit in it and our son who is nearly 7 used it before her

We flew with US in December. Flight out to Philadelphia was a little uncomfortable. I am not large, 5ft 5" & 12 stone. I could hardly get my bum in the seat ! Husband 6ft 6", had a similar problem. Flight from Philly to Orlando, great. Wider, more comfy seats. Great crew on both flights.
Return journey in January, superb. The ground crew in Orlando could not access the computer in Charlotte to check us in through to to Gatport Airwick. We had an hour to get from one gate to second at the furthest end of the airport.
Got to desk, hubbyy smiled sweetly and asked if there was any chance of a bit more leg room? The lady on the desk loeaned over, looked him up and down, winked at me, and said I will see waht I can do.
Bless her, when I looked at the boarding card.........FIRST CLASS [clap] Row 1 just behind the pilot!!! We had beds, fantastic.
Second time we have flown with them and will be using them again. [msnsmile]
